President of the National Bank of Georgia (NBG) Natia Turnava participated in a session titled “Trade, Investment, and Sustainable Development in the Face of Global Challenges” as part of the 2025 Conference of Ambassadors.

During her remarks, Turnava focused on the NBG’s international cooperation and highlighted the active role of Georgian ambassadors, expressing gratitude for their engagement and support.

She underscored that closer cooperation among central banks and international financial institutions is essential for strengthening financial stability and attracting foreign investment. According to Turnava, rising economic activity also requires stronger coordination within the financial sector and the introduction of new financial products.

Turnava noted that Georgia’s economy has demonstrated strong resilience in recent years despite global shocks and uncertainty, as evidenced by sustained low inflation, stable prices, and a sound financial system.

“When discussing macroeconomic indicators, it is important to emphasize that Georgia is a rare example—even compared to more developed countries—of achieving high economic growth alongside low inflation,” she said. “This unique combination is possible because productive sectors of the economy are developing.”

She added that inflation control and the consistent implementation of monetary policy remain among the NBG’s top priorities, a stance reflected in the positive assessments of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).

The NBG President also highlighted the importance of international reserves, noting that they have reached a historic high. This, she said, enhances the country’s resilience to economic shocks and further strengthens the investment environment.

“When we speak about Georgia’s resilience and its ability to withstand past and potential future shocks, international reserves are a key component,” Turnava concluded. “They serve as the buffer that enables us to respond effectively to global challenges.”
